January 21st, 2020

Hey guys.I have this big problem with my Take MS USB pen drive.It has 7,78 gigabytes of free space on it,but when i try to send a 6,6 gigabyte file to it,it says :`The disk in destination drive is full.Insert a new disk to continue`.I really need that file on my drive.What should i do?
Answer #1
I think most USB drive use the FAT32 format and you can’t have a file over 4GB on FAT32. You could try splitting it with winrar. That might do the trick.
Answer #2
Alternatively you could just reformat the drive with the NTFS file system.
Answer #3
Hmmm,interesting,because I remember having 5 gigabyte files on that drive.anyways,i have downloaded WinRAR,but how do you split the file ?

In winrar click on tools>wizard and it will run you through the process. Along the way there will be a pace where you can set the file size for the parts.

2 gigabytes = 2,147,483,648 bytes
After that just continue with the wizard and you should be all good.
(I have a funny skin on my winrar so you won’t see the smiley faces )
